Brass tacks sculpted from crystalline beauty. Scrivener provides access to refined levels of visibility and focus within a project. The need to shift focus and perspective throughout the creative process is well addressed in Scrivener. Intelligently implemented features including outlining, storyboarding (index cards), tagging, grouping, linking, and so forth enable writers to easily see and manage relationships, events, timelines, research, reference material, etc.

To date, all attempts at leveraging the personal computer in the pursuit to streamline and enhance the creative process have completely failed. To tag existing digital writing tools as bloatware infested by feature creep is an understatement. While the majority of referential sources will pair their entries on bloatware with "*see Microsoft"; amending said entries with "*see screenwriting software" would vividly summarize. Scrivener is the ice cold glass of water which relieves the sunburn, blisters, and parched mirage wrought by years of the coarse, unfriendly, empty desert of falsely touted "screenwriting solutions." Not only does Scrivener "got it where it counts"; more importantly, Scrivener "doesn't got it where it counts"! Excess be gone! Not to mention Scrivener's machinations are woven elegantly into the Cocoa tapestries of OS X. Pablo Picasso on the essence of profound simplicity, summarizes Scrivener well: “Art is the elimination of the unnecessary”.
